Dajjal

[Muqtabis-un-noor]

There will be many dajjals, but when will the one we hear of andv fear come?
"From the birth of Adam, till the advent of the Qiyamah,there is no greater fitnah(test)greater than that of Dajjal"
Will you be ready when Maseeh Dajjal comes to you and tries to deceive you? Will you pass the hardest test of mankind, the one where Heaven and Hell is decided, for the Dajjal will have his ow heaven and hell with him, but the heaven will be in reality, Hell, and Hell, will be in reality Jannat. This is how great his power of deceit is. There are many dajjals, but who is the one who will come?

[BHAI1]

the system of deception is well in place..ie topsy turvy logic
good is bad..bad is good etc

the evil ones rule
the good ones battered

we all have to be aware..not all is at it seems...

be very sceptical..about most things :D

if we fail now..believe it..dajjal will have you gripped in his heaven(hell)
quicker than you can say....`............

‘…But I will tell you something which no Prophet has told his people.Verily he (Dajjal) is one-eyed and Allah is not one-eyed.’ (Bukhari)

The change in the weather had been sudden and dramatic, tossing the small fishing vessel around like a piece of flotsam; until it was no more than that. Its crew, a group of Sahaabah radiyallahu anhum (the companions of the Holy Prophet Muhammad , peace & blessings be upon him), were washed up onto the shore of a foreign beach.
When they regained consciousness, they found that they all had survived the wreck. They decided to explore the island to see whether they could find someone to help them, maybe supply them with a boat.

It wasn’t long before they met a woman washing her hair in a rock pool. She directed them to a cave, managing to convey to them that there was someone there who wanted to speak with them. Intrigued, they entered the cave.

Within, they found a short man with only one eye, chained to the cavern wall. Right away, he began to ask them questions, whether certain events had taken place or not. They answered truthfully because of their nature. They could feel the evil of this man like a physical presence. When they had confirmed all that he had asked, the man said, ‘Alas, my time is near.’

The companions managed to get off the island and returned home safely. Upon arriving, they told their story to the Prophet (peace & blessings be upon him). It was then that they first heard of Dajjal, the Dark Messiah.

There are three aspects of Dajjal:

1. The individual

2. A world wide social and cultural phenomenon

3. An unseen force.

The latter two aspects of Dajjal have been explained and outlined brilliantly by Ahmed Thomas in his book ‘Dajjal - The King Without Clothes.’ Through intense research, he has managed to write a brilliant account of scary facts that bring home the full weight of reality. He explains the social and cultural phenomenon as a system that is being prepared by the minions and followers of Dajjal, through which he will operate and spread his evil. The Unseen Force is defined as the supernatural beings, such as Djinns and UFO’s, who abduct and posses humans to further his cause. Contemporary books such as ‘Omen’ and ‘Body Snatchers’, paint a frightening image of possibilities.


In this article, I intend to unveil the first aspect; the individual. The Book of Revelations by John (New Testament) contains prophecies regarding the Anti-Christ. However, over the times, many alterations have occurred in the original text and the commentaries have deviated from the actual meanings. That and the lack of consistency have left it in doubt of reliability and accuracy. Hence, there only remains the Hadith of the Noble Prophet Mohammed (peace & blessings be upon him) as the only accurate source of information.

In a Hadith narrated by Imran ibn Hussain radiyallahu anhum, the Prophet (peace & blessings be upon him) said, ‘Since the birth of Adam till the advent of Qiyaamah (Judgement Day) there is no fitnah (tribulation) much greater than that of Dajjal.’

(Muslim)
In anyone’s book, Dajjal is the embodiment of evil. A wise man once said, ‘Know your enemies and keep them close to you. By knowing them, you know your weakness, thus neutralising their potency.’ There are many Hadith which describe Dajjal’s appearance, his height and his powers.
Ubadah ibn Saamit radiyallahu anhu narrates that the Last Prophet (peace & blessings be upon him) said, ‘I have explained Dajjal to you, but I fear that you might not have understood. Maseeh-ud-Dajjal will be short and his legs will be crooked. The hair on his head will be extremely twisted. He will have one eye, while his other eye will be flat. It will be neither deep, nor protruding.’

Ibn Umar radiyallahu anhuma narrates from the Last Prophet (peace & blessings be upon him) regarding Dajjal, ‘…red complexioned, fat, curly haired man, blind in the right eye which looks like a bulging grape.’

(Bukhari)
According to the many Ahaadith describing Dajjal, the most distinguishing feature of his face besides the bulging eye will be the Arabic letters Kaaf (k), Faa (f), Raa (r), on his forehead. These letters spell Kufr (disbelief). All believers, regardless of their literacy will decipher these letters.
It has also been ascertained from the Hadith that he will emerge from between Syria and Iraq, and his emergence will become known when he is in Isfahaan, at a place called Judea. He will be of Jewish origin and the Jews of Isfahaan will be his main followers and they will refer to him as the Messiah. As he goes on through the world, Jews and a great number of non-Jewish women will flock to him upon witnessing his false miracles.

Imran ibn Hussain radiyallahu anhu narrated from the Prophet Mohammed (peace & blessings be upon him), ‘Those who hear about Dajjal should stay away from him. By Allah! A person will approach him thinking himself to be a believer. But on seeing his amazing feat he will become his follower.’

(Abu Dawood)
‘The Beast was taken and with him the false prophet who wrought miracles before him with which he deceived them.’
(Revelation:19)
The miracles and feats spoken of by the Prophet (peace & blessings be upon him) and John, the writer of the Book of Revelations, are further clarified by the Hadith narrated by Hadhrat Huzaifah radiyallahu anhu:
‘Dajjal will be blind in the right eye. He will have thick hair on his body and he will also have Paradise and Hell with him. Though his Paradise will appear as Jannah, in reality it will be Hell, and likewise, though his Hell will appear like Jahannnam, in reality it will be Paradise.’

(Muslim)
Those who obey the Dark Messiah will enter his Paradise (and thus enter Hell), and those who denounce him will enter his Hell (and so shall in reality be entering Paradise). He will travel by means of a gigantic mule, at impossible speeds. He will cause droughts and famine upon those who reject him. But the remembrance of the true Lord will satiate them.
Ubadah ibn Saamit radiyallahu anhu narrates from the Noble Prophet (peace & blessings be upon him), ‘If you still have any doubts regarding him (Dajjal), then remember, your Sustainer is not one-eyed.’

Ibn Umar radiyallahu anhuma narrates from the Noble Prophet (peace & blessings be upon him), ‘Allah is not one-eyed, while Maseeh-ud-Dajjal is blind in the right eye.’

(Bukhari)
He will remain on the Earth for a period of forty days, of which the first day will be as long as a year, the second day as long as a month, the third as a week and the rest will be normal in length. He will try to gain entry to the two holy cities Makkah and Madinah, but the angels who guard them will bar him from them. From there, he will flee to Syria, where he will meet resistance from the forces of Imam Mahdi, the leader of the Muslims. Then shall the battle between Good and Evil begin in earnest.
Imran ibn Hussain radiyallahu anhu narrates from the Noble Prophet Mohammed (peace & blessings be upon him), ‘There will always be a group of people upon the path of Allah, overpowering their enemies until the Order Of Allah comes and Isa alaihis salaam (Jesus - peace be upon him) descends.’

Finally, when the spirit of the Muslims begins to ebb, Isa (Jesus - peace be upon him) will be commanded by Allah to descend from the heavens. He will not descend as a prophet, but as a follower of the Prophet Muhammad (peace & blessings be upon him) and Islam.

‘Anti Christ in Christian Theology, the opponent of Christ. The appearance of the Anti Christ is believed to signal the Second Coming, at which Christ would conquer his opponent. The concept may stem from the idea of conflict between light and darkness, which is present in Persian, Babylon and Jewish literature and which influences early Christian Theology.’

(Hutchinsons Encyclopaedia)
As before, through the medium of the Hadith, the event of Isa (Jesus - peace be upon him)’s return and all that follows has been accurately recorded. He will descend on Mount Afeeq, on the white Eastern Minaret of Damascus. He will descend from the heavens with his hands resting on the shoulders of two angels. His cheeks will be flat and his hair straight. When he lowers his head it will seem as if water is flowing from his hair, when he raises his head, it will appear as though his hair is beaded with silvery pearls.
He will descend during the time of Fajr and the leader of the Muslims will address him thus, ‘O`Roohullah, lead the salat.’

Isa (Jesus - peeace be upon him) will decline with the words, ‘The virtue of this Ummah is that they lead each other.’

After the prayer, Isa (Jesus - peeace be upon him) will prepare himself to do battle and shall take up a spear. An army shall return from a campaign launched before the arrival of Isa (Jesus - peeace be upon him). They shall bring glad tidings of victory over India, granted to them by the Lord Almighty. Isa (Jesus - peeace be upon him) shall set out in pursuit of Dajjal. All those who embraced the evil of Dajjal shall perish even as the breath of Isa (Jesus - peeace be upon him) touches them. The breath of Isa (Jesus - peeace be upon him) shall proceed him as far as the eye can see. Dajjal will be captured at Lydda. The Dark Messiah shall begin to melt, as lead melts in fire. The spear of Isa (Jesus - peace be upon him) shall plunge into Dajjal’s chest, ending his dreaded reign. The followers of Dajjal will be rooted out, for even the trees and rocks will speak out against them. Then all battles shall cease and the world will know an age of peace. Then truly the sheep will lie in the shadow of the wolf without fear. The rule of Jesus will be just and all shall flock to him to enter the folds of the one true religion, Islam.

Good post!! Look forward to readig recommended material by Ahmed Thomas - can I pick up a copy from foyles??

[Maalikah]

We know the biggest fitna this Ummah has to face is that of the Dajjal. Many Ulemah in their sermons will pray to Allah (swt) to protect us from the fitna of the Dajjal. The Prophet (saw) has given us guidance about protecting ourselves from Dajjal (surah khaf).

Many people think that when the Dajjal appears they will see the K-F-R on his forehead and immediately recognise him. I disagree that the test will be that easy. If it was, the Prophet (saw) would not have been worried for us.

One of the tests of Dajjal is that he will show you heaven but in fact it will be hell. As Muslims, we live in difficult times. Right and wrong is becoming more and more difficult to differenciate between.

I am of the firm view that we are very very very close to the time of Dajjal as most of the minor signs are in place. The worst of society are ruling. I knowit's minor but Jade Goody said on BB last night- "I am the 25th most influential person in the world." Look at the liars we have as leaders.

Suicide Bombers - believe they will get to heaven by killing innocent people. Isn't that the test of Dajjal?

OMG!

I read that book when I was studying in London. I lived in a prestigous flat amongst non-Muslims in a place mentioned in AT's book. My friend Jewish friend knew I was researching freemasons/dajjal etc and asked her father (who worked for Al Jazeera) to organise an interview so I could write an article for a community newsletter.

So, there I was in the United Grand Lodge of England interviewing a Freemason. We had a friendly chat and he explored in depth the questions I had. I was of the firm view that most freemasons don't understand why they do things. They don't understand the meaning of their rituals. I clearly remember the huge eye in the freemason hall.

A few days later, I had a horrendous experience. I get scared easily (you wouldn't think so!) but being amongst non Muslims reading AT's book in the middle of one of the places he describes freaked me out - big time! The only thing that calmed me down was reading the Qur'an and reciting Allah's names - reminding myself that Allah is the greatest power.

I wouldn't even sleep with that book in the same room as me! It's a good read though - I would recommend it.

We are very close to Qiyaamah, i was sure i made a thread about the signs of qiyaamah but i can't find it.

Foyles is one of the best and largest bookshops in London.

I might be able to find it on the internet -

[BrotherNur]

this is one hadith i never forget :D

"He said, 'By Allah, I have not gathered you here to give you an
exhortation or a warning. I have kept you here because Tamim al dari, a
Christian man who has come and embraced Islam, told me something which
agrees with that which I have told you about the Dajjal. He told me that
he had sailed in a ship with 30 men from Banu Lakhm and Banu Judham. The
waves had tossed them about for a month, then they were brought near to an
island, at the time of sunset. They landed on the island, and were met by
a beast who was so hairy that they could not tell its front from its back.
They said, "Woe to you! What are you?" It said, "I am al-Jassasah." They
said, "What is al-Jassasah?" It said, "O people, go to this man in the
monastery, for he is very eager to know about you." Tamim said that when
it named a person to us, we were afraid lest it be a devil.

"Tamim said, 'We quickly went to the monastery. There we found a huge man
with his hands tied up to his neck and with iron shackles between his legs
up to the ankles. We said, "Woe to you, who are you?" He said, "You will
soon know about me. Tell me who you are." We said, "We are people from
Arabia. We sailed in a ship, but the waves have been tossing us about for
a month, and they brought us to your island, where we met a beast who was
so hairy that we could not tell its front from its back. We said to it,
"Woe to you! What are you? and it said , "I am al-Jassasah." We asked,
"What is al-Jassasah?" and it told us, "Go to this man in the monastery,
for he isvery eager to know about you." So we came to you quickly,
fearinthat it might be a devil.'

"The man said, "Tell me about the date-palms of Baysan.' We said, 'What do
you want to know about them?" He said, 'I want to know whether these trees
bear fruit or not.' We said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Soon they will not bear
fruit.' Then he said, "Tell me about the lake of al-Tabariyyah [Tiberias,
in Palestine].' We said, 'What do you want to know about it?" He asked,
'Is there water in it?' We said, 'There is plenty of water in it.' He
said, 'Soon it will become dry.' Then he said, 'Tell me about the spring
of Zughar.' We said, 'What do you want to know about it?' He said, 'Is
there water in it, and does it irrigate the land?" We said, 'Yes, there is
plenty of water in it, and the people use it to irrigate the land.'

"Then he said, "Tell me about the unlettered Prophet ' what has he done?'
We said, 'He has left Makkah and settled in Yathrib.' He asked, 'Do the
Arabs fight against him?' We said, 'Yes.' He said, 'How does he deal with
them?' So we told him that the Prophet had overcome the Arabs around him
and that they had followed him. He asked, 'Has it really happened?' We
said, 'Yes.' He said, 'It is better for them if they follow him. Now I
will tell you about myself. I am the Dajjal. I will soon be permitted to
leave this place: I will emerge and travel about the earth. In 40 nights I
will pass through every town, except Makkah and Madinah, for these have
been forbidden to me. Every time I try to enter either of them, I will be
met by an angel bearing an unsheathed sword, who will prevent me from
entering. There will be angels guarding them at every passage leading to
them.'

Fatimah said, "The Prophet striking the pulpit with his staff, said: 'This
is Tayyibah, this is Tayyibah, this is Tayyibah, [ie Madinah]. Have I not
told you something like this?' The people said, 'Yes.' He said, 'I liked
the account given to me by Tamim because it agrees with that which I have
told you about the Dajjal, and about Makkah and Madinah. Indeed he is in
the Syrian sea or the Yemen sea. No, on the contrary, he is in the East,
he is in the East, he is in the East' and he pointed towards the East.
Fatimah said: I memorised this from the Prophet." (Muslim).

[BrotherNur]

before the appreance of dajjal, there will be a system that will be implemented for the appreance of dajjal, we witness this today, you'll also often here it in speeches of leaders, things like "the new world order", this is all happening right here, right now, everything thats happening in the world, and the only obstacle to their plan, is Islam, thats why you see the world wide vilifictation and constant attack on islam and its followers, which will lead to a war,

[TruthHunter]

Hudhayfah said the prophet saw said I know more about the powers which the Dajjal will have than he will know himself. He will have two flowing rivers one will appear to be pure water and the other will appear to be flaming fire. Whosoever lives to see that let him choose the river which seems to be fire, then let him close his eyes, lower his head and drink from it for it will be cold water.....(muslim)

Asma bint Yazid al-Ansariyyah said the prophet saw said "During the 3 years just before the Dajjal comes there will be one year when the sky will withhold one third of its rain and the earth will withhold one third of its fruits. In the second year the sky will withhold two-thirds of its rains and the earth will withhold two-thirds of its friuts. In the third year the sky will withhold all of its rain and the earth all of its fruits and the animals will die.

Allah will test his servants with the Dajjal and by the miracles which he will permitted to perform. He will order the sky to rain and the earth to bring forth its fruits and their flocks will return fat with udders full of milk.Those who reject the Dajjal will suffer drought and famine but by saying La ilaha illa Allah, Allahu Akbar, Subhan Allah and Al-Hamdu-lillah will be like food for them. Many will believe him and be led astray. First he will claim to be a prophet then the Lord. He will pass through every place on earth except Makkah and Madinah.

It is proven in Sahih hadith narrated by many Sahabah including Anas, Abu Hurayrah, Aishah ra, Ibn Abbas and Sa'd that the prophet saw used to seek refuge with Allah from the tribulations of the Dajjal and commanded his ummah to do likewise.
Allahumma inna na udhu bika min adhabi jahan-nam wa min adhabi l-qabr wa min fitnati l-mahya i wa l-mamat wa min fitnati l-masihi d-dajjal.
O Allah i seek refuge with You from the punishment of Hell, from the punishment of the grave from the tribulations of life and death and from the tribulations of the false messiah (Dajjal). (Abu Dawud)

Abu l-Dira reported the prophet saw said whoever memorizes the first ten Ayat of Surat al-Kahf will be protected from the Dajjal(Abu Dawud)
